General stupid carbs

Another bindy brake issue, check where the pads slide get grotted up clean and lubricate (copper ease) also the piston in the caliper itself gets a ring of grot round the end where it protrudes clean that off to cos it can hinder the pistons movement plus it'll knacker the rubber eventually too.

Brakes on panda's are my pet hate thought about seeing if can fit the calipers etc off a punto since i never had any bother with punto ones.

crap, sky is blue sun is out but it just started to pour with rain hose seems fine though, looks like i just caught pads before they worn out though

 

[dave]

caliper all seized up, even bashing piston with big hammer no move it

You'll need to re-bleed but remove the hose and try again....

Dave pump it back out and try again with the hose removed. You can't tell a knackered hose from the outside as they corrode from the inside as a result of not changing the brake fluid when it should be. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and hense rust the inside of the hoses.
